Forgotten Hope 2

[Ts4EVER]

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Some of our more keen eyed fans may have noticed there was a very important piece, the DT machine gun, was missing from the BA-64 that we revealed last week. This week we are showing off the infantry version of the DT; the DP-28 light machine gun!



Nicknamed the 'Record Player' by the Soviet army, the DP was a cheap and reliable machine gun that started out in 1928. It quickly gained a reputation for being able to withstand sand and mud, and still come out able to fire off more than 500 rounds. The DP did have its share of drawbacks however. The bipod was weak and was unable to handle the abuse of firing the large 7.62mm rounds. Another problem came from the distinctive pan-style magazine on top. Capable of only holding 47 rounds, the DP was less effective at sustained fire than its belt-fed counterparts, since re-loading each magazine took so long. The DP saw Soviet front line service from 1928 to 1960, with approximately 795,000 made, including many sub-variants and licensed remakes. The DP-28 was made by Seth Soldier.

On a final note, we would like to thank everyone for their participation in the first ever, Screenshot of the Week competition. We had many submissions, but in the end we could only pick one. This week's winner was JackONeill. You can check the sidebar on the right to view the winning pick. A special thank you to MayhemicMAD for implementing this new feature.

A heavy gun shooting a full sized rifle round is pretty accurate.

Probably. It will be rare however, because the SVT40 was not standard issue anymore by 1943/44.

WHY?

[Ts4EVER]

WHY?

Because they were expensive to produce and hard to maintain by hastily trained soldiers. That's why the Mosin Nagant was put back into full blown production and it was replaced by the PPsh41 as a squad leader weapon.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2. We are back after a week of silence, with a render of a brand new Soviet service pistol. Enjoy!



The Tokarev TT-33 was a small, semi-automatic pistol that was developed in the 1930s as a replacement for the aging, Nagant M1895 revolver.

The TT-33 started life however, as the very similar, TT-30. After passing its first set of trails and tests, the weapon was eventually accepted for combat use. Even as it was put being produced, small changes were still made to various parts of the pistol, including the barrel, frame, and trigger. The result was the TT-33, which was widely used amongst Soviet forces. Being able to withstand tremendous amounts of abuse, the TT-33 quickly gained a reputation for being very reliable, and thus was very popular with many non-Soviet forces. For example, the 7.62 Tokarev round was very similar to the German, 7.63 Mauser round. Many TT-33s were captured by the Wehrmacht and given the designation, Pistole 615(r). Over 1.7 million TT-33 pistols or variants were produced, and the pistol is still in use today by a few countries. The Tokarev TT-33 pistol was made by Seth Soldier.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Before we get on with this Sunday's update, please welcome our newest developer, Stubbfan, who will be responsible for exporting all of the content created by our 3-D art department, into the world of FH2.

This week we have a render of something that no Soviet infantry soldier should be without; the RGD-33 grenade!



The RGD-33 was a Soviet, anti-personal hand grenade that was developed in the early 1930s, with the primary intention of replacing the older, Model 1914 grenade. Weighing in at only 500 grams, the RGD-33 could be thrown between 30 and 40 meters, where it would then explode with a relatively small blast radius of 10 meters. One of the more unusual features of the grenade was the 250 gram metal fragmentation sleeve, which could be fitted around the top. When this was done, the grenade had a blast radius of 15 meters, and would send out heavier, diamond-shaped fragments. The RGD-33 was complex to manufacture and use, and despite its extensive use, it was slowly replaced by the simpler RG-42 grenade, after the German invasion. The RGD-33 hand grenade was made by Toddel.
